Your dish was super damn creative. Where did you learn the technique? I reviewed all the entries and asked myself which one would I order in a restaurant? Probably the burger (because I know what it tasted like), the meatloaf because it looked delish, and the chorizo and beans, chicken thighs, etc. I have to give it to you, your technique and creativity is untouchable, but how did it taste?

R2R, I love black beans. The more I think about yours, I think it's perfect for chorizo. I'm going to make that with the rest of mine. Did you pre soak them?
I used canned black beans. The no salt added kind. Don't recall the name of the brand.
Cooked them on low in the beer and stock until the liquid had reduced by half and thickened up. In fact, my entire dish maybe took 25 minutes to make.

The chorizo, although not "manipulated", turned out fantastic cooking it sous vide, and I'm anxious to do it again. What was really delicious about it was the two different kinds of heat from the sausage and radish as I chewed each bite.
In hindsight I would have added a bit more salt to the stout to give it more of a caviar taste.

I had you #1 Degas. Very creative. I think you manipulated all the ingredients more then everyone.

Your dish really needed to be tasted IMO. There is no denying that the technique and thought that went into yours is well above the rest tho.

Degas you were my number 1 as well.

That was very cool and beyond my comprehension. A thing of beauty. Very sophisticated.
But I have to admit, B&T Coonhound's winning entry was also a thing of beauty.

Where did you implement the mushrooms?

Dang man, you take this seriously don't you? I'm no chef, just a home cook. My friends and family adore my food and watching them enjoy it is satisfying. It's all just for fun.

It's in the foreground with shallots and garlic. The Cabernet gave it the purple colour.

A tip of the hat to ya brotha'. Although I wouldn't have voted for myself, I wish I could have been able to participate in the six or so hours of voting.
Great entries folks!

I voted you first because the caviar looked awesome, but I will say this: the final product didn't look particularly mouth watering. Chorizo in a sushi roll doesn't sound like the best way to serve it. That being said the stout balls looked incredible.

Spanish chorizo is not usually smoked. They use smoked paprika

For me the RIS Caviar was the single most amazing and interesting item. I would love to try that.

Second best ingredient was peppermint bacon.
I also thought a chorizo burger was a great idea.
Your mushroom transformation was good too.
For me, the cheese was a nice finish but I wasn't phased "voting wise" by the cheese.
In a tasting it might have been different.

People sure are using the criteria "mouth-watering" a lot as their reason for voting. Very weird.

mushroom duxelle
I think I posted an experience with this from a few years ago. I went to a restaurant and as you entered the dining room, the chalkboard listed specials. The app special was "duck cells". We'd never heard of such a thing, so I asked about it. (I guess I was a little slow in figuring out their error.). Waiter starts describing mushroom duxelle. It took a LOT for the 3 of us not to burst out laughing until he was out of ear and eye shot. I didn't have the heart to tell him or the manager. I wondered if the chef had seen the board.

Congratulations CoonDog!
And kudos to everyone else. Surprising entries with a lot of variety in ideas.
Best comment award in the voting goes to R2R regarding the skillful use of cheese.

Thanks M Dog. I use 2 slices of provelone on a hamburger and you swear I put tomatoes in my gumbo

Yeah I don't get all the cheese hate. I make my vote selection like a WOWYHI thread. What order would I eat it.

I guess he could have mixed peppermint with some wasabi
